2014 Florida Trip – Country Music At The Campfire & Philosophy

Some of the best times I’ve had were the result of an impromptu event and this was no exception.  Our camping neighbor, Gabe, had mentioned that he had been a performing musician during his life and when some old friends of his unexpectedly showed up in the campground, they decided some music around a campfire was in order.

About 30 minutes later we were gathered round the fire, where some roasted weenies, others just sipped a beer, some bundled up under a blanket – it was a little cool - and we all enjoyed the sunset over Lake Okeechobee.



For at least three hours, Gabe played and sang classic country using his guitar signed by The Hag.


We had such a good time and only wish more campers had joined us.  While it's been cool here, the house sitter reports it's downright cold at home.


A Little Philosophy
As I have gone through life, three things I’ve learned – be honest with myself about who I am down deep, love myself for who I am, realize that others opinions of me are just that and only I know the real me, only then I will be comfortable enough to allow others to see the me that I see. 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  11. I would have loved to have been around that campfire. What a great evening. And love the new look. Isn't it a wider format? And with that question, wouldn't it allow you to post your photos larger? I'm always clicking to enlarge. Go Broncos. :)
